"Roar—shut up!!"
"Roar—don't bother us!!"
Hearing Qin Xiao's command, both Wolverine and Sabretooth roared in anger.
At this point, the fight had escalated beyond reason.
Stop?
Neither of them gave Qin Xiao any face.
Magneto's eyes lit up.
If the Devil Envoy had been provoked,
then perhaps he would act again.
The last ti, Magneto had already lost to Qin Xiao—inside the Mirror Dinsion.
So now—how would he handle this?
"Heh…"
A strange chuckle escaped Qin Xiao's lips.
"I'll separate them."
Frank stepped forward.
As Qin Xiao's most loyal follower, he was ready to act imdiately.
If they refused to listen—then they would have to be dealt with.
At the very least, his Swamp-Swamp Fruit made him immune to physical attacks.
"No need."
Qin Xiao stopped him.
"He'll be following for a while. It's better he learns what it ans… not to defy a devil."
With that, Qin Xiao walked toward the two.
Seeing him approach—Wolverine and Sabretooth, for once, ford a tacit alliance.
This man—was annoying.Even if he was the Devil Envoy—he was still annoying.
"Die!"
"Go to hell!"
Blinded by rage, they attacked without hesitation.
Adamantium claws glead.
A massive fist crashed down.
Thud—
Clang—
Their attacks landed—yet it felt like striking sothing non-Newtonian.
The harder they hit—the less effect it had.
"Decay."
Qin Xiao calmly grabbed one arm from each of them.
Two words left his mouth.
And then—sothing shocking happened.
Sabretooth and Wolverine—began to age visibly.
In seconds,
they collapsed to the ground.
Gasping.
Weak.
As if death could claim them at any mont.
"H-how… is this possible…?"
"I… have no strength…"
Their voices trembled.
Through the reflection of the tal floor, they saw themselves—Wrinkled skin.
Age spots.
Clouded eyes.
They were no longer warriors—but frail old n on the brink of death.
Qin Xiao crouched down, looking at them calmly.
"I told you to stop."
"That wasn't a request."
"It was an order."
"You understand now?"
"Y-you really are the Devil Envoy…"
"You took our lifespan…?"
They could hardly believe it.
"Yes."
"I hope you understand sothing."
"I don't like repeating myself."
"Don't let your beast overpower your humanity."
He placed his hands on them again.
In an instant—they returned to their original state.
Strength surged back into their bodies.
Magneto stared, muttering unconsciously:
"A devil… this really is a devil…"
Two mutants with powerful regeneration—whose true ages were unknown—had been aged to near death in seconds.
Then restored just as easily.
This…
was like harvesting lifespan itself.
Only a devil could do such a thing.
Then—a bold thought crossed Magneto's mind.
"So this is why you create Devil Fruit users?"
"Once they consu a fruit, everything about them belongs to you…"
"Even their lifespan!!"
He thought he had figured it out.
Eating a Devil Fruit was like signing a contract with a devil.
And once signed—everything beca the devil's.
Even life itself.
For a mont, Magneto felt relieved.
Thankfully—he had never considered eating one.
Otherwise, he would've beco a puppet.
Hearing this,
Frank, Wolverine, and Sabretooth all froze.
That…
sounded plausible.
A deal with a devil—was never simple.
Had they already given everything away?
A bitter feeling crept into their hearts.
Were they just puppets now?
Qin Xiao walked over to Magneto and lightly patted his shoulder.
"If a devil truly wanted your lifespan…"
"Do you really think you could escape?"
